Don't blame the Kid
kosmasp17 September 2017
If you get pregnant, you may be angry at the baby in your belly or the guy who put it there. The English title may be a bit vague and that is not a bad thing. It's one of the weirdest Rom-Coms you probably will watch. And made the main actress a bit of an attraction for America too. Right now she's doing shows and what not. It didn't happen overnight, but movies like this surely helped.

She may seem annoying (especially to male audiences), but her character is flawed for a reason. And still feels as real as possible. As human as possible if you want to call it that. It's not hard to guess what the inciting incident is, but the movie still has some surprises along the way. The acting is solid and the script works too. It may have some bumps along the road to the end, but overall it's a good movie

Exceeded expectations, good watch to relax
mail-419-2311132 February 2017
During stressful periods in my life I usually watch documentaries, comedies or romantic comedies (even though I am a man :P). I've seen plenty already and decided to watch this one to relax a bit after yet another stressful day.

First of all, I love the cast. Especially Maru, she is beautiful. She doesn't look fake or whatever and made me smile in every scene.

The story is simple and yet still somehow original. It was quite funny as well and not so much 'American' (no insult ;)) The end is awkward but lovely and last but not least: I love the language even though I don't understand a single word of it :)

Good watch, would recommend and Karla Souza looks gorgeous :)

Now what will you do ?
ksf-23 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
So Maru ( Karla Souza) hooks up with "some guy" at a wedding.... she can't remember which one it was, and now... she's PREGNANT! She thinks it may be "Renato" (Ricardo Abarca), or at least that's what her friends tell her, but she's not sure. And the new "dad" spends the next hour trying to convince her that he'll be there to take care of the baby. But... Maru doesn't want anything to do with "dad". So.. the big question is.. .why did she go to such trouble to find the "dad" if she doesn't want anything to do with him ?? kind of a plot hole in the script. About half way through, Maru has Renato over to dinner with the parentals. Her father is a big shot in politics, but it does NOT go well. Ups, Downs. The baby comes, and Renato is the doting father that he himself never had. Cute. Some issues, some surprises, but still a cute, corny film. Showing on netflix USA. Written and directed by Gustavo Loza.

Really amazing!
crazy_vegan_ratlover21 January 2017
I click on the movie on Netflix by accident, when I realized it was a Mexican movie I decided not to watch it, because I'm not really into new Mexican films; however, I gave it a try and keep watching and I do not regret doing that because this movie takes a really worn out plot, adds some irresistible elements, and funny situations, to turn it into a great story. It was really funny and enjoyable, and also a bit romantic. The characters are cool, all of them are very definite, specially the two protagonist. The end is a bit awkward, but it's still very amusing, besides of being a little touching. I highly recommend this movie!

Really enjoyable: Great acting and a well done twist to a classic American story line.
jimmy_cannon26 November 2017
Really liked this, good acting for what I was expecting - the two main characters especially. I wasn't a huge fan of how it depicted LGBT community but that is more of a cultural thing I think rather than that of the movie however I was a little disappointed by it. Overall I found The film was great at keeping my attention and had a good balance of humour, romance and severity. However, it fell down a little with the ending but wasn't a deal breaker. Two VERY attractive leads who can act and a common story line done really well with a few twists and changes from the basic boring overdone story usually depicted.

Overall - Lighthearted romance - easy watching - Great characters and acting - awkward ending.

Would recommend for females but not for males especially young guys
anthonytaylor-547869 November 2022
Mary is your typically young but not that young rich snob and Maru was your handsome somewhat immature guy who was living with mummy. They meet at the wedding I feel that go go more indept about his father who left him and the impact It have on him so it was alright movie until the last part Renato wasn't the baby father. Imagine a young 21 year old is stuck with asian child for rest is life. The worse she was pushing him away and disrespect him for the first hour of movie but he wasn't the father that's wrong and her father who was also desrepect him only call truce because caught him having affair.

Amo este drama de comedia.
srichardson-3995029 November 2018
This movie was a feel good comedy based on a successful woman who gets pregnant after a one night stand. She decides that her best choice is to move in with this immature man that is no where near ready for family. The time getting to know each other before the baby is born is comedic. I love that they begin to get closer before the baby is born. Although a comedy/drama this movie gave me a warm feeling. This movie was fun to watch, the seriousness of the movie may lack for some but, I enjoyed it and recommend all to watch.

An incredible, funny and affectionate love story

The only thing that come in mind is: "OMG! The plot twist!!". If you thinking about watching it the answer will be definitely a big YES!
